How to Thrive as a Highly Sensitive Mom with HSP Author/Coach Alissa Boyer
Episode 41
Tuesday, 17 March, 2026
In this episode, I sit down with HSP mentor and writer Alissa Boyer for an honest, deeply encouraging conversation about what it means to live well as a highly sensitive mom. We talk about that "missing puzzle piece" moment when you first discover you're a highly sensitive person (HSP), and how having language for your sensitivity can instantly reframe years of self-judgment, shame, and feeling "too much." Alissa shares her own story of realizing she was highly sensitive nearly a decade ago, and how that awareness transformed the way she works, rests, parents, and takes care of herself. We explore the nervous system side of high sensitivity- why HSPs burn out faster, why everyday life can feel like "too much," and why you can't organize, plan, or think your way out of dysregulation. Alissa offers practical, compassionate tools for busy moms, including boundaries around overstimulation, permission to need more rest than others, and two foundational practices that help you feel steadier: nourishing your body with food that supports blood sugar and energy, and moving your body consistently in ways that feel good. We talk candidly about how hard it is to prioritize eating well and exercise in a full season of motherhood- and why, for sensitive women, they're non‑negotiable nervous system supports, not "nice to haves." We also look at the mindset layer: dropping the belief that sensitivity is a liability and embracing it as a genuine strength in motherhood, marriage, work, and friendship. Alissa shares what she's seeing inside her membership for highly sensitive women, the themes that come up again and again, and some of the simple shifts that create big relief day to day. We wrap by talking about the next chapter of her work, including her upcoming book and how she's helping HSP moms build lives that actually fit the way they're wired. If you've ever wondered why normal life feels extra loud, exhausting, or intense—and you're craving practical ways to feel more regulated, grounded, and proud of who you are—this conversation will feel like a deep breath.
